My New, Old Point-and-Shoots

When I ordered my Nikon F5 and F100 SLRs from KEH.com I decided to get a couple of point-and-shoots, too. I got this Lite Touch Zoom 130ED and this vintage Zoom Touch 400. The Lite Touch is newer, introduced in 2002, but it's made in China. The Zoom Touch is a 1990 model also known as the Nikon TW Zoom 35-70, and it's made in Japan. JJang!! I can't wait to see the photos from them.

From the Roof

These are some photos I took a couple days ago from the roof of Hyundai Venture Ville in Seoul.

Experimental Photography

At Tom N Toms coffee shop on the first floor of our building Hyundai Venture Ville in Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, with my friends Seth and Hyung-Shik.



A multiple-exposure I took with my F100 when I forgot I had it on multiple-exposure mode. I think it is kind of cool. I have been experimenting a lot with my new cameras, I forgot what film was like -- it's so new to me.

Reverting to Film

After a decade of shooting with digital SLRs, starting with the Kodak DSC620 -- pre-Nikon D1 -- I have made the switch back to film.

A View from Namsan Tower

I walked up Namsan to Namsan Tower. This is a view of the Meyongdong neighborhood.

Hiking IN Seoul

I went hiking to see the Fall colors with my friend and co-worker Rohnny. Seoul is amazing; it is hard to believe that you can take public transit to any of the four main mountains here IN the city. JJang!!

A Seoul History Lesson

Here is a Seoul history lesson.

New Favorite Magazine

In Seoul, English magazines are pretty expensive. You can end up paying three times the cover price for a current issue at a bookstore. Last week I met some friends from class in Hongdae and stopped by a used magazine store. I picked up a few issues of Modern Painters for a little under the cover price. I was surprised by the content, all very interesting -- all very good articles. Check it out.

Korean Class Portrait

Here is a video from my Korean class in Hongdae last Friday.

My Mimosa

This is my mimosa. I bought it when I first got to Seoul a little over two months ago. My mimosa has blossomed about five times. Each of the blossoms are kind of special because they only last a day.
